95% yea maybe if the poll was conducted in cali and NY. Thats a bunch of rhetoric if you ask me. The only reason this garbage happens is like said before it's crammed down throats on TV and other places. I was flipping through the channels the other day and NICKLEODEON for kids had like 13 year old kids interrcial dating.

The amount of race-mixing in big cities is definitely increasing, but I really don't consider these poll results believable.

I think its worst in the Midwest: there the majority of black men had never had sex with women other than white. For the 6 years I lived there for every 10 black on white couples the will be 1 black on black. There was a mud baby on almost every block - single white mother of course. On top of that they adopt interacially in large numbers. Sickening place to live.

I believe the poll to be accurate (in my area). Mostly White area. I work with two guys and we always joke around using the word ****** or negro. Joke about them being slaves or whatnot. But they always end up talking about how they'd do a black if she was hot. They are ones who'd be happy in an all-white society, but they'd also race-mix in very rare situations. Thankfully they are male. If they were female I'd probably blow a cork.

Re: Americans Overwhelmingly Favor Interracial Dating ...

Phrasing counts, IMHO. I'm majoring in Poli Sci and there have been countless studies on the effects of framing questions. I'd be willing to bet that they asked people something along the lines of whether or not interracial dating is morally reprehensible or if people who engage in such behavior should be social pariahs. Gallup does have a reputation for good random samples, but based on the fact that it is a yes/no poll, framing will come into play.

People do have a tendency to lie on polls (preference falsification), especially about sensitive material. A few years back, a group of students at my university (UCLA) did a study about this; they asked people on campus whether or not they support allocating funds for more wheelchair ramps, and substantially more (not sure about the exact percentages, since one of my old professors mentioned it in lecture when discussing polls) supported funding the ramps when the students asking the questions were in wheelchairs themselves (borrowed, not actually handicapped). This certainly applies to race, because in Debating Revolutions edited by Nikki R. Keddie, there is an essay by Timur Kuran entitled "Why Revolutions Are Poorly Predicted" that mentions preference falsification in terms of David Duke's Senate campaign. The prediction, according to the book, was that he would receive less than 25% of the votes, but won 44%, and that the exit polls were completely worthless as well. Though Kuran is presumably not White, people still lied to the pollsters.

"Acceptance" is no indicator of a desire to do it yourself, though the poll is definitely troubling. Still, dating and breeding are two different things. It's New York, though... of course jews approve of interracial dating (unless it was Amir dating Golda or LaTisha dating Hymie or something ). There are more jews in Manhattan than there are in Isntreal.

This is no reason not to have kids; if the kids I plan to have tried to date a nonwhite, the wrath of God would be nothing compared to the wrath of Mommy!

White-Patriot: Excellent post, and I feel assured that there won't be many zebras running around 'Bama any time soon, even though it's no longer a crime.

Re: Americans Overwhelmingly Favor Interracial Dating ...

Guys guys guys, calm down, how many people do you seriously think accept this as fact? Besides, as dixie has commented, wording and if these people were trying to be PC if asked face to face, these results may be skewed. So don't worry, besides, history proves that Whites are the least likely to misceginate. Just raise your head high and have kids that know better

Their language is misleading. They say Americans "accept" interracial dating. For many this means they can't do anything about it right now. How many Whites feel comfortable enough to tell a pollster the truth on racial issues?

The definition of "White" is important. Most pollsters classify Jews as White. If the poll was taken in New York city most of the "Whites" would have been Jews.

The amount of race-mixing in big cities is definitely increasing, but I really don't consider these poll results believable. If they had asked 2,264 Whites in Mississippi what they think about race-mixing, they would have gotten 95 percent rejecting it.

Thanks for that reply. I do NOT believe that the average white girl brings Negroes home to daddy nor do I believe that they are all screwing them in the backseat of cars.

The young people in my area are, in fact, remarkably racially aware and I think that the new younger generation of Whites are more conscious of their race, than say generation Y.

Saying that the majority of 2264 people accept race mixing and then saying that represents the overwhelming majority in America is retarded.

What blows my mind is how on earth white girls or guys have sexual attraction to something you can compare an image of a monkey's face and have a difficult time telling which is which. Something is seriously wrong upstairs in my oppinion racist or not if that turns you on.
